I think this is Kingsoft not Kingston. I tried installing on precise 5.6 and upup 3.8.7 and it did not work on either. It would start to load and them immediately terminate. It's a good suite.

use system, gparted to format the card
set the card boot flag
use setup, puppy universal installer: choose internal ide/sata sd install
reboot and set the bios first boot choice to SD

I boot my shuttle XS35 from SD using this method.

How to boot from USB, save to HDD? (Solved)

I would like an option to always boot frugal from USB, but use a hard disk partition to save to. It would be similar to a hard disk install but using the bios boot sequence as the boot loader instead of grub. I would like to be able to use the entire partition. I could simply resize my HDD to make a...
